new found glory

don't judge me.

Weezer.

Green is fun if you take it as it is.

"Love Explosion" has a really great chorus.

Make Believe has a meta song title that makes me laugh ("This is Such a Pity").

4/14/2008 7:30:01 PM

weezer was probably going to be one of my picks for sure.

ill add foo fighters too. im not even sure why i keep getting all their albums, i havent really loved one of their albums past several records back. but there is always 1 or 2 really catchy rock songs that i enjoy from each of their new albums.

4/14/2008 7:33:50 PM

Called To Arms, we all know what band you want to name.

Fucking say it

4/14/2008 7:38:38 PM

Because they totally ripped off "The Locomotion"

I thought they broke up... maybe he does some solo shit now or something, i havent heard anything from him in about 8 years though

4/14/2008 8:50:08 PM

if you're talking about ben folds five, then yes, they broke up 8 years ago

ben has 2 full length albums, 3 EP's, and a live album

[Edited on April 14, 2008 at 9:00 PM. Reason : LIVE album]

4/14/2008 8:52:16 PM

and the side project The Bens with Kweller and Lee

4/14/2008 8:54:05 PM

oh, well, I am not really into that stuff, but I guess its cool if you are

4/14/2008 8:55:27 PM

Beastie Boys

4/14/2008 8:57:58 PM

Weezer for sure. Old stuff is better, but it doesn't matter

Thrice. (like them all, but their style has changed a ton.)

4/14/2008 9:04:53 PM

as much as i love weezer, i cannot forgive them for make believe

i could tolerate the green album and maladroit

but not make believe

4/14/2008 9:12:17 PM

^ that's the one i don't have

4/14/2008 9:24:50 PM

DMX. Will never forget "Its Dark and Hell is Hot."

Damien Rice

4/14/2008 10:12:58 PM

man a lot of people love JEW, including their most recent albums. But yes, to each his own

4/14/2008 10:22:05 PM

soul asylum. hahaha, true for me too. loved "silver lining"


bon jovi. even their last "country-ish" album has grown on me.



don't judge me.

4/14/2008 10:26:04 PM

jimmy eat world has only put out 1 "bad" album in their career. "bleed american"

4/14/2008 10:41:26 PM

Nas

Bone Thugs

4/14/2008 10:44:27 PM

I would have said Against Me if they didn't put out New Wave. I just couldn't find any redeeming qualities when I borrowed that album, so I didn't even bother to burn it.

4/14/2008 10:57:10 PM

radiohead

4/14/2008 11:17:40 PM

this doesn't apply to me.

i love everything he's done. saw him a couple of days ago at the norva, and he played stuff off his new album and it's great. can't wait for its release. more upbeat than songs for silverman.. reminds me a lot of BFF stuff

4/15/2008 1:33:18 AM

I may get attacked for saying this, but I will anyway:
Dave Matthews Band

Taken as a whole, Everyday is mediocre at best and Stand Up pretty much sucks. But each has two or three songs that are still quality tracks.

"except it was their best!"

i know we'll never agree but that was their most boring and contrived effort to date. I guess I might place it ahead of their self titled simply because 'jimmy eat world' is so unpolished and came out 14 years ago. But clarity, futures, static prevails, and even chase this light all blow that album out of the water. thats a pretty common concensus among any jimmy fans i know.

even jimmy says he wasnt proud of that record musically, and thus only plays 1 to 3 songs from BA live while he will still play 4-6 songs live off clarity from '99.

He hasn't

But this just proves that if he did, I wouldn't notice

4/15/2008 7:27:44 AM

^^ i don't mind BA, but clarity is a muuuuuuch better album. i haven't really kept up with JEW like i probably should have, so i'm more familiar with their older albums.

ADD: green day is another one of these bands. and i mean this more in the sense that i'll atleast listen to their cds no matter what. as big a fan as i was in middle school and high school, pretty much up until the album after nimrod came out, makes me curious to see what songs they have that aren't getting played out. i can't say that i enjoy their most recent stuff as much. but i'll atleast check it out.

4/15/2008 7:36:54 AM

Metallica, but I really wasn't able to do it with St. Anger. I liked the Unamed Feeling so I guess that counts.

4/15/2008 7:54:40 AM

I can never forgive Weezer for Make Believe

4/15/2008 10:14:22 AM

i guess ill add death cab. even though i love all their releases until transatlanticism, their last 2 albums (trans and plans) were weak compared to their older stuff. but there were a handful of songs on each that it was impossible to not enjoy listening to / avoid getting stuck in your head.

and even though both the last 2 have disappointed overall, im still looking forward to the new one.

4/15/2008 10:15:56 AM

^^a couple people have said that. i honestly have only heard the two singles, what's so bad about it?

^ yeah, good one to mention.

it was tough to find redeeming qualities for Encore

NOFX

4/15/2008 11:13:58 AM

311

4/15/2008 11:14:31 AM

i'm gonna go ahead and put radiohead out there. i like all their albums (sans pablo honey) a lot. but i imagine i'll continue to buy their releases even if they start to slip a little.

modest mouse also kinda fits in this mold for me (though i never did buy their most recent)

4/15/2008 11:17:02 AM

Metallica

I found a couple of songs on St. Anger to be tolerable.

Although I don't know if I could say there was anything I "love" about it.

their stuff has slipped a little since Hot Damn! and Last Night In Town, but i've got all of their cd's and am never dissapointed. it's just a little different.
